Extract from the Gazette, 1741
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, June 11, 1741.

On the 25th of the last Month, the Presbyterian Synod opened their Session in this City; and after several Days spent in Debates on the Rights of Presbyteries, &c. a Protestation was entred into, on the first Instant, and signed by 12 Ministers and 8 Members then present, by which the Rev. Messrs. the Tennents, and their Adherents, are excluded the Synod, and declared to have forfeited their right of sitting, and voting as Members thereof: The excluded Brethren immediately withdrew, and met by themselves in another Place. ’Tis said, that the Number of the Excluded was nearly equal to that of the Synod remaining. The Protestation, containing the Reasons of their Conduct, is now published by order of the Synod.
